June 27, 2024 at 2:56 pmFabulous place. Super clean. Bright and airy, quiet on the Thursday afternoon we popped in for lunch. Fish and chips enormous 😋🐽. The car park opposite is paybyphone or cash. Unfortunately for one lady, her disabled parking badge had expired and she got a fine😱 be careful.

October 27, 2024 at 8:09 pmThe Wetherspoon is a great option for anyone looking to enjoy an affordable meal and casual drinks in a lively, central location. This spacious, multi-level venue blends typical pub vibes with a unique touch that reflects Leicester’s charm. Here’s what you can expect:
The pub is well-kept and clean, with plenty of seating available across various sections, making it suitable for groups of all sizes or solo visitors. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, often buzzing with a mix of students, locals, and shoppers. It can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, but the staff usually manage the crowds efficiently.
The menu features all the classic Wetherspoon favorites at reasonable prices. The food is generally well-prepared, with satisfying portions, and service times are reasonable despite the pub’s busy nature. The range of beers, ales, and spirits is impressive, along with great deals on popular drinks. Their breakfasts are especially favored, offering everything from traditional English breakfasts to lighter options.
The staff are polite and handle the crowds effectively, though it can get packed, which may lead to slight delays. They are typically helpful if you have any questions or dietary requirements.
Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, meeting friends for drinks, or just winding down after a day in Leicester, the High Cross Wetherspoon provides solid value in a vibrant setting. It’s a straightforward, dependable pub experience that’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.

April 9, 2025 at 1:41 pmVisited on a Friday evening after hearing about good international beers available on draft at a great price.
Wasn’t disappointed, Birrificio Angelo Poretti pint for £3.99 and others. Service was great.
The pub was very busy and loud around 7pm with people of all ages. It became fairly quiet after 8pm.
Didn’t try food.

July 27, 2025 at 4:38 pmThis place may look like a budget-friendly spot, but when we ordered burgers, we were a bit disappointed. The burgers were small, the portion of fries was minimal, and overall it didn’t feel like a good value for the price.
It’s definitely a nice place if you’re just looking to have a drink, but when it comes to food—especially the burgers—I’m not so sure. Not exactly a price-performance winner.
